Winning the “Employer of the Year” title at the Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards has energised employees and acknowledged a strong workplace culture, according to Leek Building Society.
Named Employer of the Year 2023, the leading financial services provider says that the win recognises their strong employee-focused approach that makes a positive impact on the lives of their workforce.
Lizzie Hall, Head of HR, said: “Leek Building Society were incredibly honoured to be awarded Staffordshire’s Employer of the Year at last year’s award ceremony.
“People are our greatest asset and we’ve invested in our benefits, wellbeing, premises, processes and systems just to name a few areas where we have recently made a positive impact on the lives of our staff.”
